Hurricane Otis made landfall in Mexico, becoming one of the strongest hurricanes to hit the country with 165 mph winds. It rapidly intensified from a weak tropical storm in just 24 hours, breaking records for the fastest 12-hour intensification rate in the North Pacific since 1966.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Tammy in the Atlantic Ocean is expected to weaken into a tropical storm by Friday and stall near Bermuda, potentially causing flooding but minimal damage.
A mass of cold air from Canada is forecasted to move into the US, causing a major pattern flip and bringing cold temperatures across the country. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected in the central US, with potential snowfall in the north.
The weather forecaster also mentions a potential snowstorm on the East Coast around November 1st, although it's too early to predict with certainty.
